Question

Ricki caught ten fish. The weights of the fish are shown in the line plot below. Each x represents one fish. What is the total weight of all of the fish? A. 48 1/4 oz B. 44 3/4 oz C. 47 3/4oz D. 45 2/4 oz

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. 47 3/4 oz.

Explanation:

Since Ricki caught ten fish, and the weights of the fish were 3 2/4 oz one of them, 4 1/4 oz three of them, 4 3/4 oz two of them, and 5 2/4 oz four of them To determine their total weight, the following calculation must be performed:

3 2/4 + (4 1/4 x 3) + (4 3/4 x 2) + (5 2/4 x 4) = X

3 2/4 + 12 3/4 + 9 2/4 + 22 = X

46 7/4 = X

47 3/4 = X

Therefore, the total weight of the fish was 47 3/4 oz.
